Players learn Tennis skills through playing short fun games that any child can achieve. LTA Youth Red, Orange, Green and Yellow 6-16 year olds play a variety of games to have as much fun as possible over the holidays. We also tailor the camps to develop their Tennis skills as well as adding some competition in. We also throw in some other team based sports throughout the week to develop teamwork.
